Abstract

A microstripline/stripline included in an isolator/circulator is provided. The microstripline/stripline includes a resonator including a plurality of symmetric propellers, which are capable of transmitting signals in a single direction, slot formation units formed between the propellers to allow magnetic walls to be symmetrically generated and each including a plurality of slots, transfer tracks for bandwidth expansion formed at a side of each of the propellers within the range of the distance (the circumscribed radius of the resonator) between the center of the resonator and the outermost edge of the propeller, and ports formed at the ends of the transfer tracks. The microstripline/stripline further includes a coupler for detecting a reverse signal formed at the port, to which a load resistor is connected, and an indicator for indicating the reverse signal detected by the coupler in order to detect the state of the isolator and a system including the isolator. Accordingly, it is possible to manufacture a microstripline/stripline isolator/circulator to have a low insertion loss, high isolation, a wide bandwidth, a compact size, a low price, a simple structure, and a light weight, and it is possible to observe the state of the microstripline/stripline isolator/circulator and a system including the microstripline/stripline isolator/circulator.
